Five Dice officially on the iPhone

July 27th, 2008

The main reason I had a jailbroken iPod Touch is because I really liked the game Five Dice. Five Dice is an excellent version of the old dice game called Yahtzee. I was hoping that the developer would bring it to the App store once version 2.0 of the software was out and they came through.

This is not the exact same game that was available for free if you were jailbroken. This version has a lot more polish and the graphics are very professional. The game play is very smooth and the little touches of animation are pretty slick. Another big difference is that the game is no longer free - it costs $3.99.

I’m sure there will be people that enjoyed the jailbroken version complaining about the costs, but I think it is definitely worth the few bucks it costs. The game is every bit as polished as any other professionally developed game and I see no issue with the developers getting paid for their work. 3.99 - what’s that - a cup of fancy coffee or a pack of cigarettes?

Hopefully they will make a ton of money from this little application and put some of it back in to the game to provide over the air multi player capability. That would be pretty cool.

If you grew up playing the game Yahtzee you should take a chance and spend the few bucks it costs to try it out. It’s definitely worth it.
